Thuso took to Instagram and shared that many people had asked her what it was like working with the Oscar award-winning Jenkins. She then responded with a lengthy answer to the question on everyone’s lips. Along with snaps and vids of Jenkins she took while on set, Thuso said: “Working with Barry was amazing. It was one of the easiest things I’ve done. He makes it easy, man. It’s like having a conversation — an easy, flowing, unforced conversation. We all knew and understood what we working towards and, through collaboration, we were able to help each other get there.
